For the same the reason that they lie about everything; They are chonic liars who would say or do anything in order to get their radical right wing agenda enacted. That's why.<br /><br />Q: How do you know that a COASTer is lying?<br /><br />A: His mouth is moving or his fingers are typing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877644112405173842.post-58369332607049482632009-12-28T12:26:59.337-05:002009-12-28T12:26:59.337-05:00I agree it is very baffling. I once heard someone...I agree it is very baffling. I once heard someone elsewhere put up the arguement that public transportation was more Socialist, but that just seems silly. Highways, as you noted, have been significantly more costly, both in their production and the decimation of communities, and the bill has always been footed by the public. <br /><br />I was thinking about this yesterday (yes, I really need to get a life!), but I continue to believe that COAST and their like are the folks who really want a free ride. They do not believe that there is much that should be spent on the public good, for making us a better and richer society. They came out against the library tax because they can't see how our region is made better by having a great library system available to all, regardless of their ability to pay. In fact, when I use a phrase like that, they trot out Lenin and Marx, instead of Jesus and the early Christian communities. <br /><br />But again, they don't care about making our city/state/nation better, they just want to pay nothing and hope for a better society. Oh well, we'll keep up the fight over their desire to have a free ride.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331828648482925074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877644112405173842.post-78261107815507009412009-12-28T11:24:23.249-05:002009-12-28T11:24:23.249-05:00I wondered the same thing all last year, what do t...I wondered the same thing all last year, what do the people who oppose rail stand to gain? Or more likely lose when the streetcar is up and running.<br />They own business in the outer suburbs that no one will go to anymore?5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.com
